Nuclear Ban Treaty

A Nuclear Ban Treaty is on the way!

The United Nations General Assembly has agreed to draw up a Nuclear Ban Treaty in 2017. Read our latest article (and the statement from Ireland’s Director of Disarmament and Non-Proliferation) here. The last time that the General Assembly was moved to introduce a major nuclear weapons treaty was in 1996 when the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty was agreed. So this development, 20 years on, is hugely significant.
